Oprah tweet’s praising the Surface, on an iPad!

Oprah recently mentioned the Microsoft Surface as one of her ‘favorite things’ to gift in 2012. In a special Sunday night Favorite Things 2012 episode she revealed the list and mentioned the Microsoft Surface Tablet as definitely one that she holds dear to her heart. During the episode she also tweeted “Gotta say love that SURFACE! Have bought 12 already for Christmas gifts. #FavoriteThings.”

While the regular Twitter page does not show the origin of the posts, some third party Twitter clients such as the iPhone Tweetbot do show that information. Zagg.com reported that the media mogul and talk-show hosts’ message was in fact written and posted via Twitter app on Apple’s iPad. Ooh! That should hurt!

Speaking of third party Twitter apps, currently the Windows RT OS, one that powers the Surface RT tablet, does not have an official Twitter app. Twitter has been working away at an official app for some time now, however there is no word as to when that will be available. Third party Twitter apps are currently available for download from the Windows Store, but there is a stipulation for the maximum download that an app can have. Tweetro was one such third party Twitter app that was pulled after it reached 100,000 downloads, the limit set for third party apps.

Where work meets play. The power of Windows, the productivity of Office Home & Student 2013 RT Preview, and the joy of Xbox – not to mention apps, social media, music, and more. Surface is also cloud-connected with SkyDrive, so you can access your content from anywhere, at any time.
